Helga Deen (6 April 1925 – 16 July 1943) was a diarist whose diary was discovered in 2004, which describes her stay in a Dutch prison camp, Kamp Vught, where she was brought during World War II at the age of 18.
Deen was half-Dutch. Initially her father lived with his German GP wife in Germany, but moved back to the Netherlands as persecution increased. Her mother worked for a time as a doctor at a concentration camp at Vught. She was given leave to remain but chose to accompany her family to Sobibor, where she died.
After her last diary entry, in early July 1943, Helga Deen was deported to Sobibór extermination camp and murdered. She was 18 years old.[1][2]

Diary[edit]
Deen wrote the diary for her boyfriend, Kees van den Berg, who kept it hidden after the war.[citation needed] After his death, his son presented the diary to archivists in Tilburg.[citation needed]
Memorials[edit]
A memorial stone to Helga and her family has been placed by a member of the Dutch Sobibor Foundation on the pathway which used to lead to the gas chambers (called the "Road to Heaven").[citation needed]
